(ii) All determinations required to be made under this Section 8(g), including whether and when any Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations shall be made by the Accountants (as defined below) which shall provide Executive and the Company with detailed supporting calculations with respect to such Gross-Up Payment within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from Executive or the Company that Executive has received or will receive a Payment. For the purposes of this paragraph 8(g), the “Accountants” shall mean the Company’s independent certified public accountants serving immediately prior to the “change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation” or “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation”, as defined in Section 280G of the Code, with respect to which the determination is being made. In the event that the Accountants are also serving as the accountants or auditors for the individual, entity or group effecting the “change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation” or “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation”, as defined in Section 280G of the Code, with respect to which the determination is being made, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized

public accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accountants hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne solely by the Company.

(iii) For the purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, such Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Accountants, such Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) in excess of the “base amount,” or such “parachute payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax.

(iv) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid in such year (determined without regard to limitations on deductions based upon the amount of Executive’s adjusted gross income); and to have otherwise allowable deductions for federal, state and local income tax purposes at least equal to those disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in Executive’s adjusted gross income. To the extent practicable, any Gross-Up Payment with respect to any Payment shall be paid by the Company at the time Executive is entitled to receive the Payment and in no event will any Gross-Up Payment be paid later than five days after the receipt by Executive of the Accountant’s determination.

(v) Any determination by the Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accountants hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount less than the Company should have paid pursuant to this Section 8(g) (the “Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8(g) and Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for Executive’s benefit; and

(vi) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest and/or penalties with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: (A)

give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; (B) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company; (C) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (D) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claims; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify Executive for and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income or other taxes (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of all related costs and expenses.

(vii) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(g), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and xxx for a refund, the Company shall indemnify Executive for and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income or other taxes (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance (including as a result of any forgiveness by the Company of such advance); provided, further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

(viii) In any situation where under applicable law the Company has the power to indemnify (or advance expenses to) Executive in respect of any judgments, fines, settlements, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) of any nature related to or arising out of Executive’s activities as an agent, employee, officer or director of the Company or in any other capacity on behalf of or at the request of the Company, the Company shall promptly on written request, indemnify (and advance expenses to) Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to making such findings and determinations and taking any and all such actions as the Company may, under applicable law, be permitted to have the discretion to take so as to effectuate such indemnification or advancement. Such agreement by the Company shall not be deemed to impair any other obligation of the Company respecting Executive’s indemnification otherwise arising out of this or any other agreement or promise of the Company or under any statute.

(ix) The payments provided for in Section 8(g) shall be made promptly following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. The payments

provided for in Section 8(g) shall be made not later than the tenth day following the date of which the General Release by Executive becomes irrevocable (or, if later, the tenth day following the date on which the Change in Control occurs); provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to Executive, payable on the fifth day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

(x) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 8(g) by seeking other employment or otherwise nor, except as provided in Section 8(g), shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 8 be reduced by any compensation or benefits earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

9. Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) Short-Term Deferral Exemption. This Agreement is not intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and, accordingly, the benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be paid not later than the later of: (i) the fifteenth day of the third month following the Executive’s first taxable year in which such benefit is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and (ii) the fifteenth day of the third month following the first taxable year of the Company in which such benefit is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. The date determined under this subsection is referred to as the “Short-Term Deferral Date.”

(b) Compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement are not actually or constructively received by the Executive on or before the Short-Term Deferral Date, to the extent such benefit constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then: (i) subject to clause (ii), such benefit shall be paid upon Executive’s separation from service, with respect to the Company and its affiliates within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, with respect to the Company and its affiliates, such benefit shall be paid upon the date which is six months after the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death). In the event that any benefit provided for in this Agreement is subject to this subsection, such benefit shall be paid on the sixtieth day following the payment date determined under this subsection.

(c) Reformation to Comply with Code Section 409A. To the extent that this Agreement or any payment under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the

parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement meet the applicable requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the transitional relief under Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, the requirements of the transitional relief under A-19(c) of Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1 and the Proposed Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) and agree that, to the extent such applicable requirements are not met, this Agreement shall be reformed to comply with such requirements.

10. Covenant of Confidentiality; Non-Disparagement.

(a) In addition to the agreements set forth in Sections 3(d), 6 and 11, the Executive hereby agrees that the Executive will not, during the Employment Period or for three (3) years thereafter directly or indirectly disclose or make available to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, any Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means: non-public information disclosed to the Executive or known by the Executive as a consequence of or through the Executive’s relationship with the Company, about the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates and partners thereof, owners, customers, employees, business methods, public relations methods, organization, procedures or finances, including, without limitation, information of or relating to properties that the Company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or partners thereof owns or may be considering acquiring an interest in; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be obligated to treat as confidential, or return to the Company copies of, any Confidential Information that (i) was publicly known at the time of disclosure to the Executive, (ii) becomes publicly known or available thereafter other than by any means in violation of this Agreement or any other duty owed to the Company by any person or entity, or (iii) the Executive is required by law to disclose to a third party.

(b) The Executive agrees to not disparage the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any of its practices, or any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives, or employees, either orally or in writing, at any time. The Company (including without limitation its directors) agrees to not disparage the Executive, either orally or in writing, at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10(b) shall limit the ability of the Company or the Executive, as applicable, to provide truthful testimony as required by law or any judicial or administrative process.

11. Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) The Executive agrees that during the Employment Period the Executive will devote substantially the Executive’s full working time to the business of the Company and will not engage in any competitive business. Subject to such full-time requirement and the other restrictions set forth in this Section 11 and Section 3(d) above, the Executive shall be permitted to continue the Executive’s existing business investments and activities and may pursue additional business investments. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive specifically covenants that during the Employment Period and for one (1) year thereafter, the Executive shall not:

(i) compete directly with the Company in a business similar to that of the Company, including, without limitation, engage in, control, advise, manage, serve as

a director, officer, member, partner or employee of, act as a consultant to, receive any economic benefit from or exert any influence upon, any business engaged in creating, sponsoring or advising tenant in common programs or other real estate investment programs that offer investors the ability to defer gains under Section 1031 of the Code or non-traded real estate investment trusts;

(ii) compete directly or indirectly with the Company, its subsidiaries and/or partners thereof with respect to any acquisition or development of any real estate project undertaken or being considered by the Company, its subsidiaries and/or partners thereof at the end of Executive’s Employment Period;

(iii) lend or allow the Executive’s name or reputation to be used by or in connection with any business competitive with the Company, its subsidiaries and/or partners thereof; or

(iv) solicit for employment, or encourage to resign from employment, any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or intentionally interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company, its subsidiaries and/or partners thereof, and any lessee, tenant, supplier, contractor, lender, employee or governmental agency or authority.

(b) The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive for one year and no longer following the termination of the Employment Period, regardless of whether such termination is by reason of discharge for Cause or without Cause, or by reason of resignation for Good Reason or not for Good Reason, or otherwise; provided, however, that, if the Executive resigns for Good Reason, or is discharged without Cause, during the twelve months following a Change in Control (as defined in Section 8), then the provisions of this Section 11 shall not survive the Executive’s resignation or discharge from employment.

12. Injunctive Relief and Enforcement. In the event of breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the terms of Section 3(d), 6, 10 or 11, the Company shall be entitled to institute legal proceedings to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by the Executive and to enjoin the Executive from any further violation of Section 3(d), 6, 10 or 11 and to exercise such remedies cumulatively or in conjunction with all other rights and remedies provided by law and not otherwise limited by this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges, however, that the remedies at law for any breach by the Executive of the provisions of Section 3(d), 6, 10 or 11 may be inadequate. In addition, in the event the agreements set forth in Section 3(d), 6, 10 or 11 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of being too extensive in any other respect, each such agreement shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such court in such action.

13. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, when transmitted by telecopy with receipt

confirmed, or one day after delivery to an overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, addressed as follows:

or to such other address as any such party may furnish to the others from time to time in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any one or more of the terms contained in Section 3(d), 6, 10 or 11 hereto shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad with regard to time, duration, geographic scope or activity, that term shall not be deleted but shall be reformed and constructed in a manner to enable it to be enforced to the extent compatible with applicable law.

15. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Executive, but may be assigned by the Company to any successor to its business and will inure to the benefit and be binding upon any such successor.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

17. Headings. The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

18. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without reference to the choice of law provisions of the State of California), except with respect to matters of law concerning the internal corporate affairs of any corporate entity which is a party to or the subject of this Agreement, and as to those matters the law of the jurisdiction under which the respective entity derives its powers shall govern.

19. Arbitration Agreement.

(a) Claims Subject to Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute or claim between the Executive and the Company, or its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and any of their officers, directors, agents or other employees, shall be resolved by binding arbitration, at the request of either party. The arbitrability of any controversy, dispute or claim under this Agreement shall be determined by application of the substantive provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. sections 1 and 2) and by application of the procedural provisions of California law, except as provided herein. Arbitration shall be the exclusive method for resolving any dispute and all remedies available from a court of competent jurisdiction shall be available; provided, however, that either party may request provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, if such relief is not available in a timely fashion through arbitration. The claims which are to be arbitrated include, but are not limited to any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the employment relationship between the Executive and the Company, claims for wages and other compensation, claims for breach of contract (express or implied), claims for violation of public policy, wrongful termination, tort claims, claims for unlawful discrimination and/or harassment (including, but not limited to, race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, gender identity or expression, medical condition, marital status, age, pregnancy, sex or sexual orientation) to the extent allowed by law, and claims for violation of any federal, state, or other government law, statute, regulation, or ordinance, except for claims for workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance benefits. This Agreement shall not be interpreted to provide for arbitration of any dispute that does not constitute a claim recognized under applicable law.

(b) Selection of Arbitrator. The Executive and the Company will select a single neutral arbitrator by mutual agreement. If the Executive and the Company are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator within thirty days of a demand for arbitration, either party may elect to obtain a list of arbitrators from the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”), and the arbitrator shall be selected by alternate striking of names from the list until a single arbitrator remains. The party initiating the arbitration shall be the first to strike a name.

(c) Demand for Arbitration. The demand for arbitration must be in writing and must be made by the aggrieved party within the statute of limitations period provided under applicable State and/or Federal law for the particular claim(s). Failure to make a written demand within the applicable statutory period constitutes a waiver of the right to assert that claim in any forum.

(d) Location of Arbitration. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Santa Ana, California.

(e) Choice of Law. The arbitrator shall apply applicable State and/or Federal substantive law to determine issues of liability and damages regarding all claims to be arbitrated, and shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence to the proceeding.

(f) Discovery. The parties shall be entitled to conduct reasonable discovery and the arbitrator shall have the authority to determine what constitutes reasonable discovery.

The arbitrator shall hear motions for summary judgment/adjudication as provided in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

(g) Written Opinion and Award. Within thirty (30) days following the hearing and the submission of the matter to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall issue a written opinion and award which shall be signed and dated. The arbitrator’s award shall decide all issues submitted by the parties, and the arbitrator may not decide any issue not submitted. The opinion and award shall include factual findings and the reasons upon which the decision is based. The arbitrator shall be permitted to award only those remedies in law or equity which are requested by the parties and allowed by law.

(h) Costs of Arbitration. The cost of the arbitrator and other incidental costs of arbitration that would not be incurred in a court proceeding shall be borne by the Company. The parties shall each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees in any arbitration proceeding, provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the authority to require either party to pay the costs and attorneys’ fees of the other party to the extent permitted under applicable federal or state law, as a part of any remedy that may be ordered.

(i) Waiver of Right to Jury. Both the Company and the Executive understands that by using arbitration to resolve disputes they are giving up any right that they may have to a judge or jury trial with regard to all issues concerning employment or otherwise covered by this Section 19.

20. LIMITATION ON LIABILITIES. IF EITHER THE EXECUTIVE OR THE COMPANY IS AWARDED ANY DAMAGES AS COMPENSATION FOR ANY BREACH OR ACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, A BREACH OF ANY COVENANT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY EITHER LAW OR FACT), OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON ANY BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO CONTRACTUAL DAMAGES AND SHALL EXCLUDE (I) PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND (II) CONSEQUENTIAL AND/OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (E.G., LOST PROFITS AND OTHER INDIRECT OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES). THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT THE EXECUTIVE MAY RECOVER FOR ANY REASON SHALL BE THE AMOUNT EQUAL TO ALL AMOUNTS OWED (BUT NOT YET PAID) TO THE EXECUTIVE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT THROUGH ITS NATURAL TERM OR THROUGH ANY SEVERANCE PERIOD, PLUS INTEREST ON ANY DELAYED PAYMENT AT THE MAXIMUM RATE PER ANNUM ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW FROM AND AFTER THE DATE(S) THAT SUCH PAYMENTS WERE DUE.

21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.

22. Withholding. The Company shall withhold from the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement any amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

23. Entire Agreement; Waiver of Breach.

(a) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company as contemplated hereby and no representations, promises, agreements, or understandings, written or oral, not herein contained shall be of any force or effect.

(b) Effective as of the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede any and all prior agreements between the Executive and Triple Net Properties, LLC, Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. or NNN Capital Corp. and any and all of the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties to such prior agreements shall thereupon terminate and will be null and void.

(d) A waiver by either party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, or, in any particular instance or series of instances, of any term or condition of this Agreement, shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of such breach or of any such term or condition in any other instance, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver hereunder. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.

24. Executive’s Acknowledgement. The Executive acknowledges (a) that the Executive has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of the Executive’s own choice concerning this Agreement, and (b) that the Executive has read and understands the Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely based on the Executive’s own judgment.
